Introverts

And What It Means To Be One

I am a classic introvert. I enjoy my own company, and I don’t generally get lonely or bored. I guess part of it comes from being an only child, but I know a number of introverts who have siblings.

The thing is, as an only child, I didn’t automatically have other children to talk to or play with at home, so I had to rely far more on my imagination.

I am so grateful for that, because it has allowed that imagination to develop, which, along with reading lots and lots of books, has fed into my writing.

What I’m trying to say is that people often see being an introvert as a bad thing, but it isn’t. It is no better or worse than being an extrovert; it is simply different, and that’s okay.

So take some time this week to embrace your inner introvert, because when it comes down to it, it is a big part of you, just as it is a big part of who I am.
